Product details
Overview
BUK6210-55C,118 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, designed for automotive power switching with 55 V VDS, 78 A ID (Tmb = 25 °C), and 8.1 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and supports standard/logic-level gate drive in electric power steering and start-stop micro-hybrid systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK6210-55C,118 datasheet, BUK6210-55C,118 pinout, BUK6210-55C,118 application, or BUK6210-55C,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (94 mJ unclamped), thermal resistance (1.17 K/W j-mb), gate charge profile (63 nC total at 10 V), and automotive-grade reliability under thermally demanding conditions.
Technical Context
This intermediate-level gate-drive MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust avalanche capability and wide gate voltage compatibility (±16 V DC, ±20 V pulsed). Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature and 1.17 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance enable high-power operation without active cooling in constrained automotive environments.
The device integrates a monolithic source-drain diode with 0.8–1.2 V forward drop at 25 A and 48 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in motor control and transmission solenoid drivers. Dynamic parameters-including 19.5 nC QGD, 63 nC QG(tot), and 7.5 nH internal source inductance-are optimized for fast, low-loss switching in 12 V/24 V battery systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 24 V automotive systems with margin for load dump transients. |
| ID (continuous) | 78 A at Tmb = 25 °C - Sustained current handling capacity enabling direct drive of high-power solenoids and motors without external heatsinking. |
| RDS(on) | 8.1 mΩ typ at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - Low conduction loss (<0.63 W at 25 A) critical for thermal management in sealed ECUs. |
| EAS | 94 mJ unclamped - Avalanche energy rating allowing safe operation during inductive turn-off events in transmission control and EPS actuators. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.17 K/W - Thermal resistance from die to mounting base, enabling direct PCB copper pour thermal coupling for compact, high-density layouts. |
| QG(tot) | 63 nC at VGS = 10 V - Gate charge value defining driver strength requirement for <130 ns td(off) and 74 ns tf switching performance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DPAK (SOT428), plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (one lead cropped); mounting base (mb) electrically connected to drain for low-inductance thermal and power path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal accepting logic-level (≥4.5 V) or standard (10 V) drive; ±16 V absolute max rating ensures ESD robustness in vehicle harness environments. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main power output node; internally bonded to mounting base for minimized loop inductance and direct thermal conduction to heatsink or PCB copper. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; 7.5 nH internal inductance specified-critical for minimizing voltage overshoot during high-di/dt switching in solenoid drivers. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain extension / thermal interface | Electrically tied to drain; provides primary thermal path (1.17 K/W) and low-impedance power connection-must be soldered to ≥200 mm² copper area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD-ensures reliability in engine bay and chassis modules. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Enables operation in under-hood locations (e.g., transmission control units) without derating at ambient up to 125 °C when properly mounted. |
| Logic-level gate drive support | RDS(on) ≤14.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V enables direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers and ASICs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Unclamped avalanche rating | 94 mJ energy absorption allows safe turn-off of inductive loads (e.g., 24 V fuel injectors) without external snubbers or clamps. |
| Low Ciss/Coss ratio | 2990 pF input capacitance vs. 290 pF output capacitance improves Miller immunity and reduces gate drive losses in high-frequency PWM applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V VDS, 220 A ID, 1.8 mΩ RDS(on); DFN5x6 package with no exposed drain pad. | Higher current, lower voltage-suited for 12 V only; lacks mounting base for direct heatsinking. | Select when higher peak current and smaller footprint are prioritized over 24 V system compatibility and thermal interface simplicity. |
| IRF1404ZLPbF | 40 V VDS, 195 A ID, 3.4 mΩ RDS(on); TO-220AB package with isolated tab. | Non-automotive grade (no AEC-Q101); higher Rth(j-c) (1.25 K/W) and no avalanche rating. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial 12 V motor drives where automotive qualification and avalanche ruggedness are not required. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRF1404ZLPbF, the BUK6210-55C,118 uniquely balances 55 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, DPAK thermal interface, and 94 mJ avalanche capability-making it the only option qualified for thermally aggressive 24 V automotive power switching where reliability and transient robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BUK6210-55C,118 suitable for 24 V battery systems with load dump transients?
Yes. With a 55 V VDS rating and AEC-Q101 qualification, it withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump up to 60 V) when used with appropriate clamping or layout practices. Its 175 °C junction rating ensures stable operation during transient overvoltage-induced heating.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
Mount the DPAK's metal mounting base directly to ≥200 mm² of 2 oz copper on the component side, connected via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, 0.8 mm pitch) to inner-layer ground or dedicated thermal planes. Avoid solder mask over the mounting pad to maximize thermal transfer.
Does BUK6210-55C,118 require a gate resistor for automotive EMI compliance?
Yes. A 10 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching characterization (td(on), tf). For EMI reduction in EPS or transmission controllers, a 22–47 Ω resistor combined with a 100 pF RC snubber across G-S is commonly used to dampen ringing without compromising switching speed.
Can this MOSFET replace older BUZ11 or IRFZ44N designs in legacy automotive modules?
Yes-with caveats. Its 55 V rating, 8.1 mΩ RDS(on), and AEC-Q101 qualification exceed BUZ11 (50 V, 40 mΩ) and IRFZ44N (55 V, 28 mΩ, non-automotive). However, gate charge (63 nC) is higher than IRFZ44N (35 nC), so verify driver capability and switching loss impact in existing layouts.
